The best! An excellent tour! Hazem was incredibly knowledgeable and we loved that he started out by asking our current knowledge and then help us to build on it. We learnt so much- background knowledge and even how it is still relevant now. We were picked up promptly from our hotel and Hazem met us at the door before taking us to the car with a driver. He made us feel safe straight away and, as 2 foreign women, we felt like we had a personal security guard for the day. We ended the day with a new friend in Hazem - he made us laugh, kept us safe and filled us with knowledge. Thank you so much Deluxe Tours and Hazem. We will definitely be back!

Fabulous Day Trip to Alexandria Hassan is an excellent guide and driver H was terrific. Car very clean air conditioned and comfortable. Trip was smooth and we saw all the sights with very complete explanations. Lunch was in a fish restaurant with a great view of the harbor. Hassan has a great love of Egypt and this makes for a great tour.

Classic museum you should not miss. Zizou, our tour guide was so wonderful. His knowledge surpassed most tour guides that we have in the past. His explanations and patience were outstanding.. This jam-packed museum was very interesting. Recommend it for those who really want to know the details of this wonderful country.

Ancient Egypt history - a must see We had a fabulous tour today with our guide Ashraf to Saqqara, Dahshur and Memphis. From pick up, to drop off, nothing was an issue for Ashraf. The tour included all admission tickets, so we could really take in the magnificent pyramids in these complexes. The car was comfortable and the driver, exceptional. We even had the opportunity to purchase a little Special keepsake from our tour. Highly recommend this tour.

Coptic Cairo Hazem was a great guide! Very knowledgeable! Gave us ample amount of time at each stop. Would highly recommend. Also 10 thumbs up for not standing over my shoulder and watching me write this review (seriously have had 2 of 3 guides do this). Would definitely request him again and recommend asking for him😃Also took great pictures!

Great tour of Alexandria! This was a fantastic tour. Our tour guide Zizou and driver Eid were very welcoming and extremely knowledgeable. We were picked up directly at our hotel. We felt very safe and they treated us to a wonderful day of sightseeing and learning about Egyptian culture in Alexandria! The choice for lunch at the Fish Market was great and the fried fish was delicious. A long day with the drive from and back to Cairo, but highly recommend!
